What item do you think is the most useless in Minecraft right now?

I think that the most useless thing in the game is emeralds, Because they are so hard to find and the deals with the villagers are useless junk. It is more worth it to go out and farm the material instead of trade for it with emeralds.

 

Most useless object in the game... prismarine. It can only craft a short number of blocks, the only one that really has a use is the lanterns.

 

In older versions of the game, such as the version I play in (1.6.4) air doesn't even exist as a block, which is probably why later versions lag because the game actually tries to handle it as a block, rendering and all, instead of seeing it as simply empty space. Not kidding; they removed void fog in 1.8 because of lag caused by "ticking air blocks" which is utter nonsense in a properly coded game (never saw ANY effect on performance in older versions, using Optifine to disable it not because of lag but because I don't like it, especially with how I modded the underground to be deeper, meaning it would be very dense; in those older versions void fog was nothing more than the normal render distance fog modified to get closer and darker as you go deeper, with no references to any sort of blocks, "air" or otherwise, so I can't imagine how badly they coded 1.8 for it to cause lag).

Anyway, poisonous potatoes are sure useless - you'd have thought they would make potions of poison or something, but no, just toss them. They don't even affect normal potato drop rates (dropped in addition to normal drops) and are too rare anyway to make a difference.

 

Ok guys,minecraft wasn't created to have some useless junk,no everything has a purpose,cause if it didn't it would stop existing.Every item has it's own purpose,some items are for combat,some for tools(mining,cutting,shearing,baking etc.)And some are just for decorations,this is your answer.

 

It's the air of course -- not only you can't obtain it, but it doesn't give you anything or affect the enviroment in any way.

 

Air blocks or from an efficiency standpoint emeralds.

 

Rotten potatoes definitely. And Dead Bushes. I've never seen anyone who did anything good with those items instead of just throwing them away.

 

I can't agree more.. there's almost no use for rotten potatoes unless you want to poison yourself. It's not like you can secrety poison someone anyway, because they can clearly see the "Rotten Potato" label on it.

 

I don't think rotten potatoes are that useless. I mean, they can be used as food! But as for dead bushes, I think I'd agree on that. They don't even look good... in fact I think they're ugly! They're not really well used as a nice decorating item.

 

You're pretty wrong. There are absolutely useless items in the game.

 

I gotta agree. I mean, some other items are useless, but they don't have an entire system built around them to try and make them useful. The trading system needs an overhaul. They should just let people also trade gold and other stuff like that.

 

I didn't know you can get an Air block in Minecraft, this is the first time I heard about this. And for me, the useless block is Emerald. Hard to find and the villagers wants it to trade them stuff with it and I can't find anywhere. It's a useless block.
